You're likely to get minimal feedback with such a dismissive response. If you're trying to test the waters, your question seems fundamentally off. It wasn't really meant to be taken seriously. The person was just seeking a bit more context. I suspect many here won't have the relevant background to give a proper answer. My perspective is you probably can, provided all connections are correct. Still, I’d be guessing without direct experience.

Additionally, there’s a chance the issue could arise from improper mounting of the cooler. Without the top retention plate, pressure might be unevenly distributed, potentially damaging the socket. From an electrical standpoint, it might function, but practically I’d recommend replacing the motherboard. That’s just my guess.

That's a solid response. I hadn't considered height for this situation. It seems like you're leaning toward a practical approach—asking questions only when necessary and avoiding unnecessary details.

Have you ever used it without the top cover?

Cooler height could be a problem and might harm the socket. I've tried swapping sockets on two 400 series boards, replacing broken ones. The delay in getting parts from China affected my plans, so I bought two of each (Lotes and FoxConn) to have backups. The two brands aren't compatible, making it hard to tell which one is right without seeing them closely or finding clear photos.
